Have you ever found yourself jumping from app to app, or webpage to webpage watching online videos from various sources? If so, you needÂ Frequency. It’s similar to Zite in that it aggregates news content under one roof, but instead of articles, you’ll find videos. Lots of them.

With Frequency, you can watch video from all your favorite online sources on your favorite topics: news, comedy, entertainment, food, fashion, health, music, sports, technology and much more. You can also watch videos your friends share with you on social networks like Facebook and Twitter, and from your YouTube account.

SlingPlayer for iPhoneÂ and iPad, the mobile app that lets Slingbox users stream content directly from their TV/DVR to their iDevices (viaÂ 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi), has dropped in price for the very first time – from $29.99 down to $14.99. Using the combination of both hardware and iOS app, you can watch your favorite shows no matter where you are, as if you were sitting right in your living room.

For those of you living in Canada or the US, there’s an upgrade programÂ where you’ll get $50 off towards the purchase of either the SOLO or PRO.

Gearing up for the eventual release of iOS 6, Apple has released earlier today a standalone app for discovering, subscribing, and playing podcasts on your iDevice. Simply calledÂ Podcasts, the universal app will help streamline the entire podcast experience on your iPhone and iPad. Currently on iOS 5, you you can stream and listen to podcasts right from the iTunes.app, but if any were downloaded for offline listening, you’d have to make your way to the Music.app to access those files.

iTunes Move Trailers 1.1 is now designed for the spectacular Retina display on the all new iPad.

If you’re watching them on LTE connections though, you may want to be careful and think about bumping down the quality settings a touch. Otherwise, your monthly data quota will be consumed before you can say “damn you movie trailers!”

InspireÂ is also available for the iPhone, which sells for $4.99.Â Check out some of the very impressive paintings made with Inspire Pro after the break.
